Schematics

Stanwal,
Those are the same feelings I had when asking the company for the schematic of their amp. They kept insisting they couldn't find a copy of the schematic. What does that say about the company when they can't produce a schematic of their most popular amp, of course it was a nice way of saying we don't give out schematics. My technician just as yours can repair it anyway so I will have the amp fixed by him anyway.

I have schematics for my older equipment including CJ, but I have not been able to get schematics lately from Audible Illusions.

Distribution of schematics is 100% up to the company, as a previous poster quoted: they are that company's Intellectual Property.

In this day and age of offshore manufacturing and all the copying and cloning going on, I would suspect that acquiring schematics will only get more difficult in the future.

I work for two foreign manufacturers (dCS and Nagra) and am also McIntosh, Plinius and a few other brands authorized, and none allow me to provide schematics to end users or non-Authorized service providers.

It would be nice but I would think not especially if patented design or asic/custom parts are involved.
